| Additional information |
Rana Kumbha ruled Mewar at its political and military peak, defeating the Sultanate of Malwa at the Battle of Sarangpur in 1437 — an event he commemorated by constructing the Vijay Stambha tower at Chittorgarh. Coinage from his reign is administratively significant: Mewar under Kumbha maintained a degree of monetary independence from the Delhi Sultanate's sphere that many contemporary Rajput states had already surrendered.
